MONSTERS: MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN AND MATHILDA is a collection featuring Mary Shelley's most renowned works, along with a critical introduction and commentary by scholar Claire Millikin Raymond. Societies shape and assign meanings to monsters, attributing traits that reflect their deepest fears and taboos. In this bicentennial edition, Millikin Raymond examines both FRANKENSTEIN and MATHILDA through feminist and cultural studies lenses. FRANKENSTEIN; OR, THE MODERN PROMETHEUS, written by Shelley at the age of nineteen and published before she turned twenty, stands as the most iconic and lasting literary piece of the Romantic period. First published in 1818, it has remained continuously in print and has influenced countless writers, scholars, educators, actors, theater producers, filmmakers, and even scientists. This edition is the revised 1831 version, which Shelley updated as an adult. While some scholars prefer the unedited 1818 version for its rawness, the 1831 edition is more commonly used in academic and classroom settings. This is the reason Millikin Raymond selected this edition to offer annotations and pertinent social insights for contemporary readers, exploring Shelley's works in depth and emphasizing the development of her thoughts throughout the years. MATHILDA, Shelley's second major fictional work, written between August 1819 and February 1820, addresses themes of incest and suicide. It was first published in 1959 and has since become Shelley's most recognized work after FRANKENSTEIN. This edition features the text edited by Elizabeth Nitchie in 1959. MONSTERS is likely to attract readers who have an interest in science, science fiction, history, literature, and those who ponder the key issues of creativity and responsibility, as well as anyone fascinated by the core questions surrounding creativity and cultural transformation.
